DFS NBA Top Plays: October 25

 

 

Here are the teams on the second night of a back-to-back: Cleveland Cavaliers, Indiana Pacers, Toronto Raptors, New Orleans Pelicans, Chicago Bulls, San Antonio Spurs, Phoenix Suns

Here are the teams on the front end of a back-to-back: Memphis Grizzlies

 

The most important injuries to watch out for:

Kyle Lowry (Q, ankle) – We’re expecting Lowry to be able to play, but this does seem likely a true questionable tag. If Lowry were to sit, we’d expect Tyler Herro and Gabe Vincent to pick up the bulk of his playing time. Vincent could start if the Heat wanted to keep Herro in the primary lead scorer role off the bench, but we’d expect Herro to close regardless. Max Strus and Duncan Robinson would also see a bit higher minutes floor and ceiling. Just replacing Lowry’s production with Vincent and Herro minutes would mean more usage opportunities for Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo as well.

Justin Holiday/Jeremy Lamb/Torrey Craig (Q, Ankle/Wrist/Shoulder) – The three Indiana wings all remain questionable. They played their normal roles last night and none of the three had their minutes extended. We’re expecting all three to be able to play, but their health issues coupled with the heavy workload of the primary starters last night makes Pacers projections a bit more fragile tonight.
